We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

Many studies have examined the effect of different approaches to teaching grammar including explicit and implicit instruction. However, research in this area is limited in a number of respects. One such limitation pertains to the issue of construct validity of the measures, i.e. the knowledge developed through implicit instruction has been measured through instruments which favor th...

This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom. The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanati...

Abstract This article examines Exod 34:11–17 by utilizing theory of cultural memory, enriched with metaphor and allusion. As the author a late text, scribe responsible for this insertion remembers other various biblical texts via allusion, creating synthetic categories that are useful carrying forward in time. The synthesis occurs, however, not just remembering but also forgetting parts evoked ...

The article examines the problem of using complete idioms with colors in English and Ukrainian. covers definition various approaches to their study use by famous linguists. authors present a classification idioms, particular semantic structural. In addition, syntactic constituents consisting color is considered. researching discusses implicit nature term "implicit meaning" considered as meaning...

Two experiments were carried out to examine how adult readers of English learn to acquire the orthographic structure and function of Chinese characters selected from reading material in their first-semester college course in Chinese. The first experiment, an online lexical decision task, demonstrated that the learners qtiickly acquired knowledge about the orthographic structure of the character...

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm. We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performa...
